What’s the point of placing ancestral tablets at home?
Many people place some statues or ancestor tablets at home. On the one hand, this is a form of respect; on the other hand, people also hope that they can protect themselves and their families. Memorial tablets for ancestors should not be placed randomly at home, so be careful. If accidentally misplaced, it may affect the family fortune and even threaten future generations. Let’s first talk about the taboos on ancestor tablets. If you don’t know, come and take a look.
1. Feng Shui taboos for ancestor tablets
1. Tablets are generally placed above the serving table, but nothing else, especially garbage, can be placed below the serving table. This is disrespectful to our ancestors. Not only should you not pile up debris under the table, but you should also not pile up debris next to the table. This will affect the fortune of your family, especially men.
2. There must be a wall behind the tablet, but it cannot be the kitchen wall. The tablet is next to the kitchen and cannot bless the house. It will also cause the aura in the home to become unstable, and the family's fortune to be lower and lower.
3. If there are stairs on the back of the tablet, the family will not be able to gather wealth, and the fortune will be seriously reduced.
4. The two sides of the memorial tablet cannot face the door. This will not only leak money, but also expose the family to the plot of the villain.
Two. Precautions for placing ancestor tablets
1. Place them in temples for worship.
If the family has the conditions and the economy allows, the ancestors’ tablets can be placed in local temples for worship. Reciting Buddhist sutras every day can protect your children and grandchildren and improve your family's fortune.
2. Place it stably.
The most taboo thing about placing ancestral tablets at home is unstable placement. Falling of the tablets is a sign of impending disaster. Not only must the ancestral tablets be placed stably, but other things, especially televisions, should not appear next to them. This is disrespectful to the ancestors.
3. The tablet should be placed against the wall
When placing some sacrificial items at home, it is most important to have a backer, so it is best to place the ancestral tablet against the wall. What needs to be noted here is that the memorial tablet should not be next to the kitchen or toilet. A fire in the kitchen or a dirty toilet can easily bring bad luck to the family.
Third, the best location for the ancestral tablets
1. Generally, if you want to enshrine the ancestral tablets at home, it is best to prepare a special room. If conditions are limited, put it in the living room. The living room is the strongest and most stable place in the home, and the tablets will not be affected here. And once the position of the tablet is fixed, it cannot be moved.
2. If there are other gods at home, they need to be placed in a certain order. God, ancestors and land cannot be placed on the same level. They should be placed from top to bottom to show respect.
3. Many people hang portraits of their ancestors in their homes, which is actually not good. The portraits of deceased people are very negative, and living in such an environment is detrimental to our health and fortune.
